Problem is if this falls through and the investors pull out they will be homeless and could easily fold. This IMO would be a disaster for the league on top of the Shels fiasco. It would be a disaster for the town too.
Having lived in Drogheda for a few years now, I've noticed the boost a successfull football team can give to a provincial town. There seems to be a greater sense of town pride and confidence about the place. On Saturday I was walking down west st. wearing a Bohs jersey and a couple of youngsters started shouting accross the street at me, all very good natured and was quite funny and great to see a LOI shirt provoking a reaction like that. I firmly believe Drogheda fans need to be prepared for a worst case scenario and have a plan B ready. If its not needed then great but not being ready for the worst would be a symptom of Chronic Shels Syndrome.

this is exactly what some of teh so called investers did at Rovers - fecked off and wanted paying back, shels have preactically folded, and will if they cant meet the extened licencing requirements deadline, Drogs are selling their soul, on pitch success for a new ground, if a huge property developpment goes through and Bohs have done exactly the same.... mortgaged thier soul and only true asset.

whats going on

Bohs have not done the same thing as in our case the deal will go through regardless of planning permission for the flats in Dalyer as the developer will be willing to wait it out. That is part of the deal. We have safegaurds for this type of thing in our deal. Ownership of Dalyer will not be transfered to anyone until we are sitting pretty in our new ground and in the meantime we recieve a non-refundable deposit from the developer. Bottom line is we can't end up homeless.
